Hey there, Luceti! Name's Zack. Just wanna toss in the usual mention to newcomers that the local bar, Good Spirits, is in the plaza, and it's pretty much always open if you're in need of a little something to take the edge off. We serve more than booze, so don't worry if you're underage. I run the place, along with Shizuo and the lovely ladies Buffy and Meryl. Feel free to stop by anytime!

[Filtered to Haruhi]

Just checking in to see if you've got the details for the Brave Vesperia job. Yuri's back, so he'll probably be taking over soon, but I figure I may as well handle this one first.

[AND WITH THAT DONE... Since Cloud's arrival, Zack has been giving some serious thought to his weaponry. With Cloud trying to stake his claim on the Buster sword, and Zack needing some way to break the tension, it's probably about time to make a peace offering. First things first, though- he heads over to the weapon shop to visit a blacksmith. After that, he'll head to Cloud's apartment, Buster sword in hand.

Feel free to bump into him wherever! Alternatively, use this as a mingling bar post. IT IS QUITE OPEN I SAY.]

[Well now she's sampled one milkshake... Why stop there?]

What other flavours do you have on the menu? Are they taste tested and proven to be delicious too?!

I haven't made any new ones lately, but let's see... chocolate, vanilla, strawberry... oh, and people have told me that mixing the chocolate and strawberry flavours is a great idea.

Then that would be like a chocolate dipped strawberry in a glass, right? [...] It must be done, for the starfish!

[...Bwuh.]

For the starfish?

Right, the starfish! [Holding up the carving she brought with her so Zack can see.] Fuuko does not know if the starfish have a preference for strawberry or chocolate, so both combined is sure to make them happy in some way.

[Uh... huh.

Okay, first rule: don't question the customers. (Much.)]

Alright, chocolate strawberry shake coming right up.

[ONWARD TO MIXING FOR THE STRANGE STARFISH GIRL.]

[Embrace the starfish Zack. EMBRACE THEM.]

Thank you very much! Fuuko expects it to be twice as delicious as the last one.

[Placing the carving on top of the bar for now. After all, the starfish has to be there to taste it too.]

Well, it's one of my favourites, so I think it's pretty good. [He passes over the glass once he's finished, leaning on the counter.] Hope you like it. ...Both of you.

[Taking the glass and sipping at it. Does she have a milk mustache now? Why yes, she does.]

Fuuko definitely likes this one too. Both drinks have their own merits. [Turning to look at the starfish for a moment...] It's a pass.

A pass from the starfish? Uh-oh, is that good or bad?

Oh it's good! Very good! It means you passed, like getting a good grade in class.

Well, that's good news! This one's already on the menu, but I'd be happy to add on a mention that the starfish approves.

That would be very wise! If people hear the starfish has enjoyed it then that will definitely draw in people wanting to taste it all the more. Starfish approved!

Thank you very much... [Pausing as she tries to remember his name. He definitely mentioned it before. Uuuh...] Zack-san!

Hey, anytime! That's what I'm here for, after all.

Hmm... [For the first time since she came in, Fuuko will turn around and get a proper look at the place. This place is definitely in need of more starfish...

Pushing the starfish she brought with her over the bar, towards Zack.]

Please accept this! Consider it a thank you from Fuuko for all your hard work. [Plus it always does good to spread the starfish around a little more.]

...Uh... are you sure about that? Doesn't starfish need to, er, stay with you?

Absolutely, Fuuko is sure! Fuuko has many more starfish at home. and Fuuko is always making more so there'll never be a shortage of starfish!

[Leaning to push the starfish further down and repeating herself.] Please accept this!

...Huh. Well, in that case, I accept! Good Spirits would be happy to have the starfish stick around. [He takes the starfish, turning it this way and that to get a better look at it. He has no idea why it's so important, but if it is... better keep it out of Shizuo's way so it won't get broken.]

[Yeah you better look after it. She's never seen one of her carvings broken before, but she would probably be devastated knowing someone would just break a starfish like that.] And the starfish would be happy to stick around at Good Spirits in return. Make sure you take really good care of it.

I promise- it'll be safe and sound. [Or as safe as anything can be in Luceti.]

Great! [Hmm. She should probably get back to Nagisa soon... Oh, there's an idea right there.] Do you have drinks that Fuuko can take away from here? Nagisa-san would love to try something like those milkshakes, but it'll be a long time before she'll be out and about again.

Uh... actually, yeah, I think I've got some of those soda cups around here somewhere. What kind do you want to take back to her?

[Dango flavour! Ah, but would a dango milkshake exist? If dango soup doesn't, perhaps something like that will be a stretch...]

Not sure! Is there a type of milkshake that will help a person sick in bed feel better? [...] Or a dango flavoured milkshake? [Aaand she asked anyway. It's pretty hard to get the association of dangos<->Nagisa out of her head.]

Dango flavoured? Uh... maybe if you told me what a dango is. [The name isn't ringing any bells. Though he's iffy on whether or not milkshakes can help sick people.]

They're like sweet dumplings, made with rice flour. They're also cute, perhaps as cute as the starfish! [It was a stretch to ask in the first place. Isn't there some sort of miracle milkshake which cures all ailments?!]
